That worked beautifully. It fixes all the problems I've been having with kdm and my virtual terminals. Should I report this as a bug in kem (it certainly seems like a bug to me)? If so, do you have any idea whether it might be an easy bug to fix? Thanks for your help, by the way! -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
